Industry Technical Agreement (ITA)

An ITA is technical document that addresses technical specifications for areas of rapidly-developing technology. Any group of interested parties may create an ITA, whether this means a single, large company or a consortium.

 

The IEC does not determine who may or may not participate. It is up to industry players to agree amongst themselves. An ITA is developed in a workshop, forum or in a project team. They key is simplicity: instead of requiring global consensus, it is up to the participants themselves to decide what is and is not to be addressed in the ITA as subject matter.

 

The ITA process is no longer in use.
